Why Cannot I access my website on my apache2 server? - apache2

On an apache2 server, I recently cloned an app 'MyApp' from github. But I'm not able to access it through url 133.29.22.57/MyApp/ (ip address is dummy) ? I have tried setting permissions for /var/www/ folder to 777, I also created a new file myapp.conf in etc/apache2/sites-available/ , then I used a2ensite to make it live, then restarted server but still can't access the site. Please help.
Here are the contents of my myapp.conf file :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/MyApp/
<Directory /var/www/MyApp/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Some (possibly) relevant info from apache2.conf
Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default
# These need to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars
User ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP}
#
<Directory />

</Directory>

UPDATE
some of the content that you may find relevant which I found under /var/log/apache2/access.log...

moreover,
I tried running command /usr/sbin/apache2 -V | grep SERVER_CONFIG_FILE
which says that the following variables are not defined :
${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} ${APACHE_PID_FILE } ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP } ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}

Setting permissions for /var/www/ folder to 777 is a very bad habit.
Give the directory (recursive) to the web server user, usually www-data like "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www"
Then do a separated log, something like "mywebsite.error.log" and "mywebsite.access.log" so you'll be able to see quickly what's going on.
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mywebsite.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mywebsite.access.log combined
Then tell us more precisely what's going on and I'll update my answer.

React Nginx Proxy Pass every file loading index.html

I've been scouring trying to find a solution, but when I go to my domain, all my static files are just returning index.html, giving me a
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<' error
My setup is this:
A server that runs nginx for multiple domains, with the one site in question having the following config file
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
return 302 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/domain/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/domain/key.pem;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://10.0.0.41:80;
}
location /api {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://10.0.0.41:3000;
where 10.0.0.41 is another server which is hosting 2 docker containers, one for my react app/nginx and one for my express backend app.
The reverse proxy to the express app works perfect, but when I try to visit domain.com, my js files are returning as index.html and not loading, giving me the error above.
When I visit 10.0.0.41 in my browser, everything loads as it should and works correctly, just not when coming from the domain.
this is the nginx config file for the second server
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.html;
}
location ~ .(static)/(js|css|media)/(.+)$ {
try_files $uri $uri/ /$1/$2/$3;
}
}
I've tried everything I can find, adding that last line in the 2nd nginx config, removing, adding, changing homepage in package.json.
I am using React router, with <Route exact path="/"
This has been driving me crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated, and if I left out any important information let me know.
Difference in requests:

10.0.0.142 is the machine i'm testing with, 10.0.0.101 is the first nginx server

Apache Forbidden on Virtual Directory

I have been trying to configure my Apache to list the log files that are stored in /var/log/squid/ so that I can download them from the server to my local PC if required. I have configured the Alias as follows;
Alias /squid/ "/var/log/squid/"
<Directory "/var/log/squid/">
Options None
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
But I keep getting the 403 Forbidden error message when I try to browse to the directory.

Any suggestion please.

apache2 + piwik + varnish - log malformed

I have configured apache2 behind varnish and am trying to add stats by log reading (piwik)
however piwik complains log is "malformed"... and its correct :
89.79.******, 89.79.****** - - [31/Mar/2014:12:50:05 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 16310 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36"
as you can see it logs the same ip twice as host...
in varnish .vcl i have :
remove req.http.X-Forwarded-For;
set req.http.X-Forwarded-For = client.ip;
and in apache2 vhost :
LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" varnishcombined
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/e***o-access.log varnishcombined
however it still logs the ip twice ...
what can i do to prevent that ?
I ended up using mod_cloudflare :
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170796-How-do-I-install-mod-cloudflare-on-Apache-
and setting the trusted proxy to 127.0.0.1 + log combined
if anyone has a better solution....

404 error while executing .py file in cgi-bin using apache2

previously i had error in installing apache2 for python, this is the link
I thought i should continue there but right now i'm getting a new error so posting it as a new one this is what the problem is
I have placed a file hello.py having code

print '<head>'
print '<title>Hello Word - First CGI Program</title>'
print '</head>'
print '<body>'
print '<h2>Hello Word! This is my first CGI program</h2>'
print '</body>'
print '</html>'
in a folder /var/www/cgi-bin when I run this on apache2 using
http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.py

Please help me through this.
In your Apache configuration, you need to change the Directory directive to: <Directory /var/www/cgi-bin> if this is where you intend to host your mod_python scripts.
UPDATE:
You're placing your python script in /var/www/cgi-bin but /cgi-bin/ is defined to point to /usr/lib/cgi-bin. You need to standardize on one location for /cgi-bin/.
Here's what I would propose as your corrected Apache configuration. Note that I didn't remove any lines, I only commented out the lines that are not needed or have been replaced.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />

</Directory>
#<Directory /var/www>
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
UPDATE 2:
Now that your Apache configuration is correct, and we've verified that your module is importing correctly, you're still getting a 404. This is because you are using the mod_python publisher handler, which expects a different usage than what you have implemented. Basically, you have implemented a simple CGI script that just prints output. mod_python has a specific API for executing your module. You should try this example to get an understanding of how it works.
To implement your test module as a valid mod_python publisher, you could change hello.py to this:
def index(req):
return """<html>
<head>
<title>Hello Word - First CGI Program</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Hello Word! This is my first CGI program</h2>
</body>
</html>"""
Note that the reason you were getting a 404 error (even though the module was imported) is explained on this page:
The traversal will stop and
HTTP_NOT_FOUND will be returned to the
client if:
Any of the traversed object's names
begin with an underscore ("_"). Use
underscores to protect objects that
should not be accessible from the web.
A module is encountered. Published
objects cannot be modules for security
reasons.
If an object in the path could not be
found, HTTP_NOT_FOUND is returned to
the client.

Have I missed something?
mod_deflate IS enabled, and the header says:

PS. I run Rails with mod-Passenger
Sorry my bad. I'm behind a proxy server at the office, so by the time it hits my computer, the request is already unpacked.
